Yang Jian was detained. During the interrogation, the police accessed his identity information and found that he had a record of being detained for fighting.
Therefore, before the case was clear, he was first sent to the detention center.
Yang Rui, Ma Ming, and others gave their statements and then left the police station.
"Ma Ming, do you have any connections in the police force? My brother acted out of a sense of justice. He can't be falsely accused of fighting."
Yang Rui was extremely anxious. The group of people her brother had injured, judging by their accents, were locals from Hancheng. Their arrogant demeanor suggested they had some influence there, and they could definitely find connections within the police. This would put her brother in a very bad situation, possibly leading to a prison sentence.
"I'll make a call and ask."
Ma Ming was also quite worried. He knew very well that his parents were just ordinary workers at the state-owned shipyard, honest and hardworking their whole lives, and they didn't have any powerful connections.
As expected, Ma Ming's parents had no acquaintances in the police force. Their closest contact was the community beat cop. However, they promised to ask around.
With no other options, Yang Rui dialed Lu Yao's number.
It was almost eleven o'clock. Lu Yao had been very busy preparing for the start of the semester and had already gone to bed.
"What's wrong, Rui Rui?"
Lu Yao groggily answered the phone.
"Yao Yao jie, my brother has been arrested. Please help me think of a way."
"What happened? Weren't you guys out for a late-night snack?"
Lu Yao sat up abruptly, her heart pounding with fear.
Yang Rui recounted the entire incident.
"Rui Rui, don't worry. I have friends in the police. Let's consult them first. They're in the same system, maybe they can get in touch."
Lu Yao hung up and immediately called Lin Nan, explaining Yang Jian's situation.
"Yao Yao, don't worry. Since Yang Jian injured the attackers to save someone, the police won't easily classify it as a brawl.
I haven't been working long, and I don't really have any acquaintances in the Hancheng police. But don't worry, I'll ask my colleagues tomorrow. They all came from police academies, so they must have classmates there.
If all else fails, I'll find the political commissar. He was just transferred from the Hancheng Public Security Bureau, so he'll definitely be able to contact the leaders of the Hongchang branch."
It was late at night, and Lin Nan couldn't think of any better solutions.
"That's great. You have to hurry and get Jian ge out as soon as possible. It's so hot, it must be unbearable in there."
"Don't worry, I'll look for someone as soon as I get to work tomorrow."
Reassured by Lin Nan's promise, Lu Yao felt a little more at ease. She then told Yang Rui to return to school and wait for news, as they couldn't help much by staying out so late.
Donghu Hospital was a Grade III Class A hospital located in Hongchang District, with complete medical facilities and strong capabilities, enjoying a good reputation in Hancheng.
At eleven o'clock at night, the hospital's conference room was brightly lit. The hospital president, vice presidents, and other leadership members were all present, seated on the left side of the long conference table.
On the right side sat a group of police officers in uniform. Some wore white uniforms, and these were the leadership members of the Hongchang District Public Security Bureau. Others wore blue uniforms, and they were the director, deputy director, and political instructor of the Donghu Police Station.
Seated at the head of the conference table was a robust, gray-haired man in his fifties, Lu Jinsong, the Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department.
At this moment, Lu Jinsong's stern, dignified face looked grim, even ferocious, because his daughter and son-in-law had been beaten. His daughter, Lu Yue, had miscarried, and his son-in-law, Cheng Zhifeng, was still in surgery.
It was too ironic. Lu Jinsong was in charge of public security for the entire province, and his daughter and son-in-law were beaten on the street, which showed his public security management work was inadequate.
However, no one present dared to disrespect him. They had heard he was being considered for a promotion to director.
"Director Lu, please rest assured. We have already organized the hospital's strongest medical team for Cheng Zhifeng's surgery. Due to timely medical attention, Cheng Zhifeng is no longer in critical condition. However, Lu Yue suffered a miscarriage due to a severe blow. The obstetrics department has already performed surgery on her, but she is stimulated and her mental state is a bit unstable."
The hospital's President Luo first reported the diagnosis and treatment. These hospital leaders had all been woken up from their sleep to rush here.
Lu Jinsong nodded at him. "Thank you, Old Luo. If it weren't for your timely rescue, my daughter and son-in-law might have been in danger."
"This is what we should do."
Lu Jinsong turned to look at Wan Hui, the director of the district police bureau. "Director Wan, please explain the case."
Wan Hui, in his forties and slightly overweight, was sweating profusely, perhaps from the heat or nervousness. "Director Lu, I've just learned that there are discrepancies in the statements of the involved parties. The Donghu Police Station is still collecting evidence."
"Then tell me about their statements."
"Okay. The main person responsible for assaulting Cheng Zhifeng and his wife is named Geng Bin. According to his statement, around ten o'clock at night, they were eating barbecue and drinking with seven other people. Cheng Zhifeng suddenly used a skewer to stab him. Because he had drunk a lot, he lost control of his emotions and that's why he hit the man.
After that, Cheng Zhifeng's friend, Yang Jian, intervened and beat all four of them. Two of them were quite seriously injured: one had a fractured nose and lost three teeth, and the other had two broken ribs and a ruptured spleen."
"Wait a minute, you said someone named Yang Jian is Cheng Zhifeng's friend? And he beat up four people by himself?"
Wan Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Yes, according to several injured parties and bystanders, that Yang Jian was very skilled. He took down all four of them in less than a minute. They said he was Cheng Zhifeng's friend because Cheng Zhifeng and Lu Yue were sent to the hospital by Yang Jian, who also paid the two thousand yuan emergency fee."
Lu Jinsong snorted. "Alright, let's put this aside for now. Where is that Yang Jian?"
"He has been detained and sent to the detention center."
"What is his statement?"
Wan Hui took a sip of water. "Yang Jian's statement is completely different. He said he didn't know Cheng Zhifeng and his wife at all. The incident started when Cheng Zhifeng and his wife were passing by the barbecue stall with their child. The child was crying and wanted barbecue. Cheng Zhifeng and his wife sat at the table next to them.
However, after the barbecue was served, the child, being mischievous, threw skewers into the air. One landed on their table, and Yang Jian was already a bit annoyed.
Another skewer landed on Geng Bin. It might have hurt a bit, and Cheng Zhifeng immediately got up to apologize. But Geng Bin, without a word, slapped Cheng Zhifeng and then kicked over the table, knocking into Lu Yue and the child.
Since Lu Yue was pregnant, Cheng Zhifeng reprimanded Geng Bin, which immediately led to him being ganged up on by Geng Bin's companions.
Lu Yue tried to break up the fight and was kicked over by Geng Bin. Yang Jian, knowing Lu Yue was pregnant, immediately had his sister and others protect Lu Yue and the child, while he stepped forward to mediate, realizing Cheng Zhifeng was in bad shape and another blow could be fatal.
However, Geng Bin and his companions, fueled by alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and began to attack Yang Jian. To their surprise, Yang Jian was a trained fighter and subdued Geng Bin and the others in less than a minute.
Because Cheng Zhifeng was bleeding profusely and in critical condition, and Lu Yue showed signs of miscarriage, Yang Jian and his companions drove Lu Yue's family of three to Donghu Hospital without waiting for an ambulance, and paid the two thousand yuan deposit.
This is Yang Jian's statement, and the statements of his sister, brother-in-law, and three female classmates are the same as his.
Since there were no cameras at the scene, the Donghu Police Station is still conducting interviews and investigations for the case."
